Good friends Nada Surf have announced 'Standing at the Gates: The Songs of Nada Surf's Let Go', an album of covers by an awesome group of artists including The Long Winters, Aimee Mann, Rogue Wave and many others as a part of Nada Surf's 'Let Go' 15th Anniversary. The album benefits the ACLU and Pablove Foundation.

The Long Winters have covered the track Hi-Speed Soul, and the full, exciting line-up can be found on the Nada Surf website. The album can be pre-ordered now: the digital release is February 2, and the CD will be available March 2, with a vinyl delivery date to be announced. The release of the album coincides with a Nada Surf tour featuring Let Go in its entirety.

Since The Long Winters don't play live that often, we gladly share this video with you courtesy of the wonderful KEXP , who hosted a The Long Winters session at the Upstream Music Fest. Plenty of banter, and some songs too.

The Long Winters have not released any new music in the past years, but the silence has been broken as they contributed a song to the 30 Days 30 Songs campaign. In this song, written specifically for this project, John Roderick speaks from the perspective of Trump voters in the folk song tradition.
